Trump's World Peace
Was the world more peaceful when Trump was president? At least the "white" world was more peaceful because Putin had not invaded Ukraine. There were hot conflicts and wars in other places, but those do not get the attention that a white war in Europe gets.
The Ukraine war is very popular in the media because it is the first white war in a long time. There was action in the Baltic in the 1990s. A war with Russia involved in it in Europe was not seen since the end of the second world war.
Putin's invasion
Putin hates Ukrainians and wants to extend Russian territory. Russia was founded by Viking slave traders in Ukraine. Eventually, a Viking ruler from Kyiv moved west to Moscow. Russia in that sense is a renegade province of Ukraine.
Russia turned communist and formed the former Soviet Union by force. Ukraine was forced to be part of the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine became independent. Ukraine has been turning more democratic and liberals as the years go by. Putin has been burning in hate ever since.
Trump's presidency
When Trump was president, Putin had a strategic ally in the White House. Trump is a Putin wannabe. Trump loves everything Russian from women to racism. Trump considers Putin to be a genius. If Trump could, he would rule the United States just like Putin rules Russia. With Trump as president, there was no need for Putin to jump the gun. Trump was moving the chess pieces for Putin. Trump was defunding NATO, delaying military support to Ukraine, and was close to pull the United States out of NATO.
After Trump's surprising loss to Joe Biden, Putin had to rethink his strategy. The United States began to re-energize NATO and began to arm Ukraine. Putin opted for proactive move with his special military operation in Ukraine. Putin's strategy did not work out as planned. Ukrainians showed a willingness to fight and Joe Biden rallied Congress to fund a proxy war against Putin.
World Peace
The white world is less peaceful now that Trump and Putin are no longer working together. Whether that is "good" or "bad" is for people to decide. For some that is the price to be paid for freedom. For others it is time to end democracy and turn the whole world into an autocratic regime.
Food for though. What do you think?
